Come Christmas 2012, er, Summer 2013 when the latest film adaptation is released, there will be but two types of people: those who’ve recently read Gatsby and those who’ve not. Earn your right to be one of the smug, smart set when everyone is discussing a remake. 🙂

The Great Gatsby online book discussion — 5 Comments

This 2011 news story talks about the demise and demolition of one of the many mansions that over the years has claimed to be the inspiration for the Gatsby house. Note however that Sands Point would be East Egg – where Tom Buchanan had his mansion not Gatsby.

Hi Jody! Thanks for responding. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the film has been pushed back to some as yet unspecified time during Summer 2013. After revisiting the novel, I think many of us will be wondering what about the classic lends itself to 3D. 🙂

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Gatsby. So they are doing a movie then? I went through the book again earlier this year–I actually listened to it on Audible–so I’m relatively prepped for a discussion. Sooooooooo smooth. A book that very much reminds me of the Great Gatsby which I might like almost just as well is the Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon, which I recommend to any Fitzgerald fan who hasn’t already read it. Thanks for the invite Mark! Get in touch with me if you need anything, brutha.
